Question

6) A profit of 5% is made by selling cloth at 563 per metre. What will be the loss or gain by selling it at 52.50 per metre?​

Answer 1

Given:-

$gain = 5 \: percentage \\ s.p \: of \: 1 \: m \: cloth \: = \: 63rupees \\ c.p = ( \frac{100}{100 + g \: percent..} ) \: \times s.p \\ c.p = (63 \times \frac{100}{100 + 5} ) \\ c.p = 60 \: rupees \\ thus \: the \: cost \: of \: 1m \: cloth = 60rupees \\ given \: s.p \: = 52.50 \: rupees \\ c.p > s.p \\ he \: will \: get \: loss.$

$= 60 - 52.50 = 7.50rupees$

$hence \\ the \: loss \: \: incurred \: by \: selling \: the \\ \: cloth \: at \: 52.50 \: is \: 7.50rupees$

$i \: hope \: this \: helps \: u$
